Very good neutral-stable midrange disc. Tales of the Claymore being a flippy disc seem to be vastly exaggerated, though that might just be the result of the Frost Line plastic adding some extra stability to the disc. I would definitely recommend getting a max weight disc in Frost Line or Opto plastic if you plan to throw it off the tee. If you want a more understable mid that you can use to shape shots through the woods though, you might get a GL or Retro Claymore instead, since in my experience those plastics tend to be a little less stable. Pick whichever plastic you want for your intended use, but I've been using the Frost Line version, and that's the 5 star disc to me.

The Claymore has a surprisingly neutral-stable flight that lends itself best to straight shots and gentle gliding hyzers. You can force it over on an anny if you want to, but you won't turn it over by accident unless you throw it into a stiff headwind. Mostly it just seems to flip to flat and hold straight if you give it a hard throw with clean form, and that's really all I want out of a mid. I pair it with a more understable and a more overstable mid to fill out my bag, and the Claymore sits neatly in the middle. For me, this disc maxes out at about 280 feet, which is a pretty long distance for a mid considering that I might throw a distance driver out to about 350 on a good day. The Warship and the Gobi are still slightly longer than the Claymore, but the Claymore definitely comes close to the furthest flying midranges on the market.

Regarding the shape and hand feel of the Claymore, it seems to be designed like a driver with a slightly thinner rim. It has no bead, not even the sort of microbead that you find on a Fuse or a Truth. Despite having no bead, it still has the same depth on the inside of the rim as most beaded midranges, so you get the usual hand-filling midrange feel without the incongruity of that little bump under your finger. The straight up and down inside wall of the rim seems to be begging for you to power grip it rather than fan grip it, though you could probably do either depending on what you're more comfortable with. The design is very simple, but undeniably effective.

Overall, I would recommend this disc to beginners as well as other intermediate players like me. It might be a little flippy for the power throwers that want to be able to throw their mids 400 feet, but for the other 99% of the disc golfers in the world this will be a great disc because it offers an awesome combination of distance and control for both upshots and drives off the tee.

177g frost line claymore. I like this disc for tunnel shots and anything hyper flip to flat up to 325'. They serve quite a few uses. The frost line plastic feels amazing in hand.

This is my current go-to for midrange turnovers and straight shots in the 200'-250' range. It didn't initially excel at turnovers, but a beat-in Claymore will stay turned over with minimal fade at the end. Frost line is perfect for my uses.

The Claymore is great for any skill level. Beginners may find the Claymore in lower weights to be a workhorse mid, while max weights will give them more stability for hyzer shots. Big arms will like the Claymore in max weights for hyzer flip laser beams or medium range turnovers. Most average arms will appreciate the Claymore for tunnel shots and approaches.

If you're looking for a very durable mid with some versatility, an Opto or Frost Claymore is what you want.

X Frost 175. I loved this disc when I got it. It went well when I was using my Buzzz, Mace and Tursas. But not I have a Truth and it took out my Buzzz and Claymore. It was great for tunnel shots and keeping shots flat. Never really got good distance out of it as far as a midrange. More of an approach disc for me. But like I said Truth replaced it.

Bachand shots are the most effective with the claymore. It's very versatile from my take on it short drive, midrange, and approach. It goes where you want it. I've gotten most of my birdies 30ft to 50ft plus with this disc. It can handle wind but not much.

Solid midrange.  After throwing some overseas plastic, I've replaced my entire bag with Latitude, Dynamic and Westside discs.  I just like it better.  The Claymore does exactly what you tell it. Hyzer, flat, anny, it will go where you tell it.  I grabbed a Frostline because it is all my store had, and in summer its a little squishy.  Going to get a stiffer grade plastic for the regular season though becasue this thing is just a good, stable straight shooter. Bag it.

Frost 169g. At the beginning it was lazer straight and I thought I'd found a great disc. As it broke in it became far too similar to my fuse and lost its great straight line unless powered way down. My buzzz still holds its line after 3+ years so I'm disappointed this disc broke in so fast and I'm not the biggest fan of its broken in flight.

The Frost Claymore is my favorite straight line mid. Super comfortable in the hand, comes out clean and strong, flies very straight with only slight turn and gentle fade. I'd say the stats are pretty accurate as listed. 

I first threw the Claymore at a Trilogy challenge last year, and that disc was in the recycled plastic. It flew with a much more defined S-curve pattern than the Frost plastic.
